Indonesian Footwear Association aims for export record

29/04/2011
The Indonesian Footwear Association (Aprisindo) is optimistic that Indonesia will set a new record in shoe exports worth $3 billion this year due to rapid growth in demand.

Aprisindo secretary-general Binsar Marpaung said that Indonesia booked $2.5 billion in footwear exports in 2010.

“This year, we are confident that we can make it to $3 billion,” he said.

Mr Marpaung said the international market was still promising for Indonesia’s footwear industries, not to mention demand from home.

“Keep in mind that we have a huge population. If everyone buys two pairs of shoes twice a year, then we should produce loads of shoes,” he said.
